CASE NO. C18-884RSM

This matter is before the Court on the parties’ Joint Motion to Continue Trial Date
and Amend Case Schedule. Dkt. #27. Trial is currently set for June 3, 2019. Dkt. #17. The

21

parties want to continue settlement negotiations and indicate that any settlement involving

22

a loan modification will require at least sixty days to finalize. Dkt. #27. On this basis, the

23

Court finds good cause for a continuance of the trial date. The parties have not, however,

24
25

demonstrated good cause for resetting various pre-trial deadlines which have already
expired. The Court therefore will not reset deadlines which expired prior to the parties filing

26
27

their joint motion.

ORDER – 1

Accordingly, the Court finds and ORDERS that the Joint Motion to Continue Trial

2

Date and Amend Case Schedule (Dkt. #27) is GRANTED IN PART. The Clerk shall reset
